51Regulatory information
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure warningThe equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF exposure information (SAR)This mobile phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.38 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.686 W/kg.
Important: Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: HLZDME400.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
Using your phone with a hearing aid deviceYour device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants) users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing-device users in finding phones
52
that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M3 and/or T3 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Note: Not all hearing devices contain telecoils.
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of your hearing aid.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices.
For additional information about the FCC's actions with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro
Certificate Information (SAR)This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer.
Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then may the CE symbol be applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile telephones is the "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and was included in the European Standard EN 50360 for mobile radio devices. The SAR regulation for mobile telephones is in line with European Standard EN 62209-1. The maximum SAR value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency bands of the mobile telephone. During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because the mobile telephone works in different output levels. It only transmits with as much output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a base station,
53Regulatory information
the lower the transmission output of your mobile telephone. The tested SAR of this device is as follows:
